Equate - Stay Awake - Alertness Aid With Caffeine, Maximum Strength, 80 Tablets 200 Mg

I truly like this brand Equate. I believe their products are just as good if not better then some expensive name brand products! As for their Stay Awake - I love this product. I have used Vivarin once (double the price and depending on where you purchase it, even triple the price) of the Equate brand. I did not like the Vivarin - I felt jittery after taking it. The Equate Stay Awake (excellent price) helps me to just stay at the alert state I'm looking for with NO side effects. I usually split one in half and it does the job for a whole morning. If I feel sluggish/not able to function after a bad night's sleep I take a whole but that is once in awhile and with still no ill side effects. Also, if I had to compare this to Coffee - my personal experience - this is 100% better for me. I have drank coffee once in my whole entire life and personally it made me sick. I had the worse stomach ache and felt the caffeine was to strong - felt like I was bouncing off the walls from it with uncontrollable hand shaking. NEVER did I experience this with the Equate Stay Awake. This is my go to brand and would suggest this to all who are looking to try a stay awake product with no side effects!

This caffeine pills are great for college students. I have spent countless nights in the library up late doing homework, and these pills are handy to keep in your backpack.Considering one energy drink or coffee can cost around $2, for 80 pills (1 equivalent to one coffee), these pills are extremely cost effective and convient.I use them anytime i need a moderate energy boost - going out at night, studying late, when I have to be awake especially early, etc.Highly recommended - one pill will get you up and going within 20-30 minutes.

Nasty tase but works

The more you buy the cheaper they get. I like to save a penny just like the next guy, and this is how you do it.

I have had kidney stone surgery and more than one kidney stone attack, I would not have purchased this product had I have know there was calcium as an ingredient. I was mislead because calcium was not shown on the advertised pic...but on bottle I received it IS listed! I would not recommend because of this deception. Also omitted is where manufactured/a product of China and Germany.

I'm in medical school, and found myself getting very tired throughout the entire day. I was drinking cup after cup of coffee just to stay awake. The caffeine pills helped immensely. A whole pill at one time may be a bit much. So I would bite off half a pill in the morning and another half later in the day. This keep me awake, but without the jitters. Plus it saved me a lot of money I was wasting on coffee.

I use this to keep me from getting groggy during college lectures. It's nice to get the caffeine in my system all at once with just a mouthful of water, rather than sip by sip. I get enough caffeine to do the job without drinking so much that I need to run to the bathroom before the class ends. I also appreciate how easy they are to break in half, since 200mg is more than I need most days.

I started taking caffeine pills about 8 years ago with No-Doze. Those didn't do anything for me after two weeks of use. I then moved on to Vivarin, which is great! It keeps me awake and it doesn't make me jitter at all unless I have an empty stomach. The cost of 16 Vivarin at my local grocery store is around four dollars and eighty-six cents.Stay Awake is much more cost effective and I've only noticed one difference. Vivarin has a very thin coating on the outside to help ensure you swallow the pill before it breaks apart or starts to dissolve and Stay Awake does not. If you've ever taken Stay Awake before you know it's a race against time to get that pill down before it starts to dissolve and release a terrible face puckering reaction. Granted that passes quickly in most instances, but it's still kind of a pain...but not a negative thing worth paying for Vivarin in my opinion.I would recommend this product over Vivarin any day unless you're rich or have extra money to throw around at alertness aids.
